6 CVS HEAD
7
8 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
9
10 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
11 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
12 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
13 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
14 a sampler the next time.
15
16 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
17
18 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
19
20 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
21 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
22 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
23 (default none).
24
25 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
26 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
27 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
28
29 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
30 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
31 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
32 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
33
34 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
35 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
36
37 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
38 screwed.
39
40 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
41 e.g. by other frontends.
42
43 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
44 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
45 (fixes segfault on device changes)
46
47 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
48 "View" main menu.
49
50 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
51
52 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
53
54 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
55 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
56
57 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
58 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
59
60
61 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
62
63 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
64 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
65 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
66 default.
67
68 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
69 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
70
71 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
72 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
73
74 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
75 creating a new sampler channel.
76
77 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
78
79 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
80 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
81 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
82 first time).
83
84 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
85 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
86
87 * Added Windows file path support.
88
89 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
90 under win32.
91
92 * Qt4 port of the application.
93
94
95 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
96
97 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
98 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
99 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
100 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
101
102 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
103 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
104 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
105 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
106
107 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
108 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
109 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
110
111 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
112
113
114 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
115
116 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
117 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
118 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
119
120 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
121
122 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
123 the session state, only at code-level.
124
125 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
126 existing instrument file name.
127
128 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
129 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
130 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
131 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
132 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
133 corrected some tooltip text strings.
134
135 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
136 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
137 window managers.
138
139 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
140 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
141 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
142 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
143
144 * GPL address update.
145
146
147 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
148
149 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
150 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
151
152 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
153
154 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
155 installation paths have been added to configure command
156 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
157
158 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
159 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
160 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
161 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
162 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
163
164 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
165 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
166 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
167 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
168
169 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
170
171 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
172 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
173
174 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
175 title name prefix.
176
177 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
178 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
179 generated at configure time.
180
181 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
182 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
183 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
184 argument have some effect on X11.
185
186 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
187
188 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
189 compiled with -no-stl.
190
191
192 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
193
194 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
195 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
196 one, while on qjackctl).
197
198 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
199 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
200
201
202 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
203
204 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
205 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
206
207 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
208 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
209 info updates.
210
211 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
212 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
213 device dialog.
214
215 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
216
217 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
218 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
219 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
220 Mayat, for pointing these out).
221
222
223 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
224
225 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
226
227 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
228 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
229 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
230
231 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
232 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
233
234 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
235 an instrument.
236
237 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
238
239
240 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
241
242 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
243 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
244 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
245 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
246
247 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
248 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
249 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
250
251 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
252 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
253
254 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
255
256 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
257 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
258 change information are now also posted to messages window.
259
260 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
261 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
262 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
263 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
264
265 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
266 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
267 sampler instrument file.
268
269 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
270 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
271 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
272 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
273
274 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
275 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
276 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
277
278 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
279 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
280 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
281 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
282
283
284 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
285
286 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
287 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
288 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
289
290 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
291 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
292 following common user-interface guidelines.
293
294 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
295 control structures.
296
297 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
298
299 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
300 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
301 channel (omni mode).
302
303 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
304 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
305
306 * Minor configure fixes.
307
308
309 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
310
311 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
312
313 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
314 and on session file save.
315
316 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
317 on create time.
318
319 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
320
321
322 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
323
324 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
325 over the empty workspace area.
326
327 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
328 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
329 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
330 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
331
332 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
333 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
334
335 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
336 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
337
338 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
339 each sampler channel strip.
340
341 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
342 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
343
344 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
345 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
346
347 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
348 new sampler channel strip.
349
350 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
351 suggested in the following lines:
352
353 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
354 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
355 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
356 LOAD ENGINE ...
357 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
358 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
359
360
361 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
